What to consider before you Fire Your Boss

What you better know before you quit your job

By LaTasha West

The day I fired my boss I felt like King of the jungle, all
banging on my chest, head up high and proud! The last time I left my job,
actually left my last job for the last time it was surprisingly emotional. I felt
nervous yet empowered and ready to take on the world! It was my time, time for me to run the show!
Yes!!! Finally I was out on my own.

After the euphoria wore off then I was like a deer in headlights
thinking ut oh what do I do now? I hit a few
bumps in the road, made some mistakes, cried some tears, and cursed myself and
possibly a few clients. I searched under a few rocks to find some PAYING
clients, wondered what happened to all those people that I thought would buy
from me and even wait for it thought about giving up and getting another job (but only
for a few minutes). Am I in your backyard yet?

Yep we’ve all been there; the key to it is not to stay there.
Most start up companies take time to get off the ground. You will bump your head
more times than you thought, but that is okay remember it’s just like when you
first learned to walk. You fell a few times but eventually you were able to
walk and then run. Don’t get
discouraged.

Firing your Boss can be the most amazing and life changing
thing you'l ever do. However, you need to make sure that you are clear on what you are doing. Why in the world are you giving up a steady paycheck? make sure you can answer that question.

If you are convinced and set on jumping off of this cliff and building your plane on the way down,

Here a few things to make your journey less painless

1. Know your WHY. - What is the driving force behind this
adventure? Why are you branching out on your own?

2. Know your WHAT- What are you looking to do long term?
Prepare your business for the future from day 1, so you don’t end up getting
stuck in a position that you hate.

3. Know your HOW- How
will you take this idea all the way through completion? How will you deliver
your products or service? How will your support yourself in the slow times?

4. Know your WHO- Who is your client? Be specific. Who is
your product or service designed for?

Knowing your why, what, how and who will provide a solid
foundation on which to build the business of your dreams. Before you fire your
boss, get clear of those things and you’ll be off to a great start. If you have
already fired your boss and are feeling stuck try revisiting the points above
to clarify your strategy and re-find your umph!
